Instructions
Create a new database connection in Superset
IMPORTANT: Don't call this tool, unless user have given connection details. This function will only create database connections with explicit user consent and input. No default values or assumptions will be made without user confirmation. All connection parameters, including sensitive credentials, must be explicitly provided by the user.
Makes a POST request to /api/v1/database/ to create a new database connection in Superset. The endpoint requires a valid SQLAlchemy URI and database configuration parameters. The engine parameter will be automatically determined from the SQLAlchemy URI prefix if not specified:
'postgresql://' -> engine='postgresql'
'mysql://' -> engine='mysql'
'mssql://' -> engine='mssql'
'oracle://' -> engine='oracle'
'sqlite://' -> engine='sqlite'
The SQLAlchemy URI must follow the format: dialect+driver://username:password@host:port/database If the URI is not provided, the function will prompt for individual connection parameters to construct it.
All required parameters must be provided and validated before creating the connection. The configuration_method parameter should typically be set to 'sqlalchemy_form'.
Args: engine: Database engine (e.g., 'postgresql', 'mysql', etc.) configuration_method: Method used for configuration (typically 'sqlalchemy_form') database_name: Name for the database connection sqlalchemy_uri: SQLAlchemy URI for the connection (e.g., 'postgresql://user:pass@host/db')
Returns: A dictionary with the created database connection information including its ID
